Forever

I can feel you slipping through my fingers

Each sunrise is a moment of pure panic; each dream terrifies me because of the grain of truth. One day you will be gone.

And ready for that day is something I will never be. I hate the dreams where I have to face it

I see how tired you are, the urge to give up is so strong

But every sunset I pray, to someone I’m not even sure is there

                One more day to see you

                Hear the thunder of your footsteps

                Hear the laughter and the fights you have with the television

                Even the moments I hate, I secretly love them. Because you are here

The day I lose you

                It will be hard to remember to breathe

                To not lose faith completely

                To ever smile again

You keep me grounded

You are my person I turn to when I cry

When I’m angry

When I have any amazing story to tell

Every day of my life I’ve never doubted for a second that you loved me

I may have been confusing and hurtful

But you are my

Daddy

And I will forever be your

Pumpkin
